Hello everyone! My summer vacation is coming to an end soon and i have to get a laptop for my studies. But i want to be able to play some games with the laptop aswell.

1) What is your budget?
600-700€ or 650$-750$

2) What size notebook would you prefer?
I would like for the laptop to be 15". 17" laptops are a bit too big to carry around everyday and i fear anything smaller than 15" is too small.

3) Where will you buying this notebook?
I will be buying it online or in a store in Finland.

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
No, as long as it works i dont mind.

Not really

6) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
School work and gaming

7) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places, leaving it on your desk or both?
Both, i will take it to school often but i will use it at home aswell.

8) Will you be playing games on your notebook? If so, please state which games or types of games?
Yes. I was looking forward to playing pretty much anything from an mmorpg to a FPS game.

9) How many hours of battery life do you need?
The battery life doesnt have to be that long.

10) Would you prefer to see the notebooks you're considering before purchasing it or buying a notebook online without seeing it is OK?
I dont have to see it in person.

11) What OS do you prefer? Windows (Windows 7 / 8), Mac OS, Linux, etc.
I prefer windows but anything works i guess

Screen Specifics

12) 1080p

13) Do you want a Glossy/reflective screen or a Matte/non-glossy screen?
All are fine to me

Build Quality and Design

14) Are the notebook's looks and stylishness important to you?
A little yes, but its not that important

15) When are you buying this laptop?
Deadline is about 1 month (so hopefully soon)

16) How long do you want this laptop to last?
As long as it can (hopefully 4-5 years)

Notebook Components

17) How much hard drive space do you need? 1tb or 500gb Do you want a SSD drive? Would be good but it isnt that important

18) Do you need an optical drive? If yes, a DVD Burner, Blu-ray Reader or Blu-Ray Burner? DVD burner

Ok, so i have done some research and im willing to put my budget up a bit. I just saw a Lenovo Y70-70 with GTX 860M going for 899€ (its the cheapest laptop with 860m i could find) and im just wondering if its good for the price. It has i5-4210H 2,9 GHz, GTX 860M 4GB GDDR5. Im just wondering, if these specs are good for the price?
